Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for a wireless device with dual subscriptions to prioritize a subscriber. A user equipment (UE) may configure a first channel for a first subscription and a second channel for a second subscription. The UE may determine one or more slots for the first subscription for communicating in a first direction and for the second subscription for communicating in a second direction, where the first and second directions are different. The UE may prioritize communications of the first subscription according to the determined slots. The prioritizing may be based on the direction, whether the communications are scheduled or configured, or whether the slot includes a monitoring occasion. The UE may communicate in the first direction according to the first subscription.
